Hi Jani,

Thanks for the review. I have posted v3, comments inline below.

I've added a hint. The comment is not a duplication because what is known
as the PL1 power limit is known as "hwm_power_max" inside hwmon. I have
retained "hwm_power_max" in the function name (rather than say
"i915_hwmon_pl1_limit_disable") because other hwmon functions are similarly
named. So there is a need to tell someone reading the code that this is the
PL1 power limit we are referring to.

Removed the comment here, comment seems pointless after the comment above.

Changed.

Afais, taking the mutex is the only fully correct solution (when we disable
the power limit, userspace can go re-enable it). Examples of partly
incorrect solutions (which don't take the mutex) include:

a. Don't take the mutex, don't do anything, ignore any changes to the value
   if it has changed during GuC reset/fw load (just overwrite the changed
   value). Con: changed value is lost.

b. Detect if the value has changed (the limit has been re-enabled) after we
   have disabled the limit and in that case skip restoring the value. But
   then someone can say why do we allow enabling the PL1 limit since we
   want to disable it.

Both these are very unlikely scenarios so they might work. But I would
first like to explore if holding a mutex across GuC reset is prolebmatic
since that is /the/ correct solution. But if anyone comes up with a reason
why that cannot be done we can look at these other not completely correct
options.

Added the annotation.

Fixed.

Done.
